Trying out the Enterprise Edition

If you would like to try out the Enterprise Edition for a limited time before deciding whether to buy it, a Trial Version of the Enterprise Edition is available to be used either as a hosted account online or as a plugin to be downloaded and installed in your ProcessMaker server.

The Hosted Enterprise Trial is a convenient way to test the Enterprise Edition, without the hassle of installing and configuring ProcessMaker on your own server. To test how the Enterprise Edition will work with your existing implementation of ProcessMaker, use the Enterprise Trial Plugin.

Enterprise Trial Guide

The Enterprise Trial is designed to allow you to try out ProcessMaker's Enterprise Edition for a 30 day period on the cloud. After signing up for an account, you will receive a workspace, where you can login and work with sample processes and case data to better evaluate ProcessMaker's features. In addition, the Enterprise Trial includes integrations with Knowledge Tree, Pentaho Reporting and Advanced LDAP so you can test some of the advanced feature in the Enterprise Edition.

Signing up for an Enterprise Trial Account

If successfully deploying the ProcessMaker Community Edition but still needing to add more functionality, the Enterprise Edition of ProcessMaker will fulfill every demand you may have with its proprietary plugins. These plugins greatly optimize the performance and easily help manage ProcessMaker. Moreover, some plugins have been designed to bring integration tools and 3rd party integration. After obtaining your license, like the main open source core, all the source code for the Enterprise Edition plugins can be viewed, but the "shared source" license does not allow the plugin code to be changed or redistributed.
